"Dissent is the safety valve of democracy. If dissent is not allowed, then the pressure cooker may burst."

असहमति को राजद्रोह माना जाएगा।
यदि मतभेद विपक्ष से आता है तो।

Dissent is considered sedition,
if it is coming from opposition.

'Aano Bhadrah Kratvo Yantu Vishwatah’ which means 'Let noble thoughts come to us from all directions' reveals how singularity is an inadmissible concept in a country as diverse as India. Right from the ways to seek salvation to the ways of defining salvation, plurality has been the spirit of Indian civilisation. Growing of Buddhism and Jainism when Brahmans began to occupy the top spot in the hierarchy cites an example as to how the right to dissent was accommodated in the pages of Indian history. Popular languages like Pali and Prakrit becoming the dissenting parallel in the aspect of literature indicates how superiority is a flawed reality in a country with diverse majorities.

"That's the problem with people;
they think that they're entitled to everything
and if they're denied something,
they create such a Herculean ruckus--
and woe betide anyone
who contradicts their thinking."

"But, that's the trouble with people;
they believe that they know everything--
that, instead of opting
to seek the root of a squabble,
they elect to prejudge what's happening."

Savage Monkey business!
Rather it is a chance to show the ability to handle things in a civilized manner.

Violent Night, Unholy Night,
Baki sab wrong, the Right has Might.
To hell with free speech & minority rights,
Banning our voices, encouraging fights.
Soon all dissent will be dead:
Democracy, L-O-L-Zed.

Violent Night, Unholy Night,
Keeping quiet emboldens the Right
Say it out loud, right to their face,
Divisive tactics, we will not embrace.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall,
They'll never silence us all.

Whoever sits on the right is not always right.

जब मेरे जिस्म की राख उठकर
शब्दों का तांडव किया करेंगी
तब कहाँ से सेंसर होंगी
कौन सा अफसर रोकेगा
जब मेरी नज्में बोलेंगी
कलई तुम्हारी खोलेंगी
